//! Process-wide owner of module source bytes and everything derived from them.
//!
//! One spawn of a large pipeline visits every file in the transitive import
//! graph at least twice: once while folding the entry chunk's cache key, and
//! again while the VM actually loads each module. Every one of those sites
//! needs the same three facts — the text, its content digests, and its import
//! list — and each used to derive them independently, so a single module source
//! was read from disk twice, held in memory three times, and hashed three times
//! per process.
//!
//! [`ModuleSource`] owns those bytes and derives each fact at most once.
//! Instances are memoized by the file's stat identity `(len, mtime_ns)`, so an
//! on-disk edit yields a fresh entry and a stale one is never reused: a
//! long-lived worker still observes edited pipelines exactly as a cold process
//! would. The derived bytes are identical to what independent derivation
//! produced, so cache keys are unchanged.
